Chocolate Zucchini Bread is moist, rich, and surprisingly wholesome. It’s easy to make and works perfectly for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 2 large eggs, whisked
  • 1 banana, mashed
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 cups grated zucchini

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine all dry ingredients.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk vanilla, oil, eggs, banana, and honey until smooth.
  4. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients.
  5. Stir in grated zucchini until just combined.
  6. Pour batter into a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  1. No peeling needed: The zucchini skin softens during baking.
  2. Don’t overmix: Keeps the bread light and tender.
  3. Extra moisture tip: No need to squeeze water out of zucchini.
  4. Make muffins: Bake at the same temperature for 18–20 minutes.
  5. Storage:
    • Room temp: up to 3 days
    • Fridge: up to 1 week
    • Freezer: up to 3 months
